Reports: Jones resigning as Hawaii's coach

HONOLULU -- June Jones has resigned as Hawaii's football
coach, reports said Saturday.

Kent Untermann, a former Hawaii player and member of Na Koa, the
school's booster club, told KHNL that Jones' was leaving because of
frustration with how the athletic department was run, not because
he felt his salary was too low.

"He wants to be here but he has come to the point where he
feels nothing is going to change," Untermann said. "He feels he
has done his part but hasn't gotten the support and leadership from
the administration."

Jones, 54, who just finished coaching the most successful season
in Hawaii history, is being courted by SMU for its head coach
opening.

Jones was en route to Dallas on Saturday to talk to SMU
officials and could not be reached for comment.

The Dallas Morning News reported SMU has offered Jones between
$1.7 million and $2 million a year.

Jones currently earns $800,016 a year under a five-year contract
with Hawaii that expires June 30.
